Summer VS.. Winter.

The idea that fowls cannot be made
to yield good profits during the winter
weather is decidedly an erroneous one
for if they r properly managed thew
can be made really more profitable
then than at any other time of the
ear. Some breeders who raise poul.
try and eggs entirely for market Dur.
poses, seem to think that they must
make all their profit during the sum-.
mer months, and they have an idea
that the fowls are a dead loss during
the cold weather, and seem to be
thankful if they lay enough to pay for
their keeping. This is all wrong, and
the breeder should not allow himself
to be satisfied with any such results.
but should be constantly striving to do
better each season. In winter, both
fowls and eggs are high-priced, and
for this reason it is especially desirable
to have a good supply during the cold
weather; it can easily be done, too, if
the fowls are managed rightly. They
must be fed on more %fattening, nourish,
ing food than they had during the hot
weather, for a certain part of the heat
thus created goes to keep the body of
the fowls warm, and this, of course,
was not necessary during the warm
weather.
There is one way of really saving
food and promoting the thrift of the
flock that is not fully appreciated, and
that is good shelter, for the better they
are protected from cold, the less food
it will require to keep their bodies
warm, and in this way a good shelter
is economical as we'll as comfortable.
1t is c%arelessness in the little details of
winter management that is the cause
of SO much disappointment on the part
of the breeder. The more care and
attention to the daily requirements in
winter, the better will be their health
and general appearance. Though
aiming to attain the highest results by
different methods, the breeder often
fails to follow a judicious course in
feeding and managing his flock, and in
such cases disease will soon show it.
self, and of course fowls can never be
made profitable or satisfactory when
in this condition. The feeding has an
important influence on the profits
realized in winter, but this is not all,
by any means, as the house in which
they are confined at this time, and in
which they spend nearly all of their
time has a very effective influence on
their health, and as stated before,
without health there is no profit, and
anything that a be done to promote
strength and health will quickly IN
crease the profits. Be sure and have
plenty of light in the south side of the
house, so as to let in the suns rays, as
they are very scarce in the winter and
must be made the most of. Ventlla,
ton and cleanliness go hand in hand
and are very important in securing
good health. The food should be
given regularly and in moderate guam
titles. Be sure to see that they are
we'll fed the last thing at night, just
before roosting time, SO that they Will
have enough to last them through the
long cold nights.
With such management, the fowls
will yield fully as large profits as they
did in summer, for the reason that
poultry and eggs are always highest
at this season of the year

FALL OR SPRING FLOWING,
WHICH?

This is a point on which farmers are
by no means agreed. There are those
who advocate that the fall is the very
best season for doing much to prepare
the farm for spring work, and blowing
is a large part of that work. If the
growing season has been favorable
and the first two autumn months have
afforded a suficiency of fair days to
secure the corn in the shock, and the
potatoes in the cellar, there still re-
mains, they say, a number Of fair days
before showing and freezing weather
set in, in which sod land may be
broken up, and fallows plowed for next
springs use. To thus advance the
spring work, which at that season is
generally crowding, is certainly a very
weighty reason for fall blowing. An.
other reason might be urged that the
land turned up thus early and exposed
all through the winter becomes mellow
and better fitted for seeds and their
termination, besides rendering the soil
more fertile by that very mellowness
which makes the plant nourishing ele-
ments available, all of which can be
but partially accomplished in the
spring if all.
So far the fall blowing advocates
have the arguments On their side.
There is, however, another side to the
question. There are practical farmers
who claim that comparatively little is
gained by fall blowing so far as the
mere advancing Of the spring work is
concerned. 1t is not infrequent, they
say, that by the copious spring rains
the plowed fields become very compact,
and needs a replowing before it a be
made available for seeding. Besides,
it is very questionable whether after
all anything is gained in the way Of
enhanced fertility. On the contrary
it is claimed hat the soil loosened and
pulverized by alternate thawing and
freezing, is, by the succession Of spring
rains, losing the ve1y elements of nu-
triton, being driven down into the
soil where. the land is fiat and beyond
the reach Of the plants, or altogether
washed out of the soil where the land
is billy or rolling. This argument is
supported by the fact that frequently
drainage water has been found to con-
tain the very element needed in the
soil for plant food. On a point so
mooted the farmer must be guided
by his own experience. While a few
general principles might be laid down,
practically they may not be found of
universal application. Allmen do not
work alike, all soils are not chemically
alike; all eason are not uniform

information about the "new crusade as
it is called, but admitted that before long
another effort will be made to occupy the
coveted country. Cole insists that their
former failure WAS due TO information
that was spread abroad concerning their
movement, adding thst it will be in the
future their policy to act more and speak
less. Captain Couch, VITO is now
president of the organization.

refused to give any definite
information, but it is inferred
it will be near April /.
He says the organization is more powerful

effort will be made to open the country,
but should they refuse to do this, there
is no DOUBT trouble will ensue. Couch
will give the matter lis personal attention

Talked with the ExcursIonfsta

FORT WORTH, Dec. II, 1851
To the Editor of the Gazette.
The writer upon yesterday mixed with
and talked freely to the 80 Californi.
excursionists. Quite number expressed
themselves to him that they had bought
very cheap tickets and were going to Cal
ifornie to see the craze. They also stated
freely to the writer that it was the gen.
eral opinion in the east that the California
boom was top heavy, and that If excur-
sion tickets to Texas were as low in pro-
portion as TO California, in the east, the
Texas tickets would sell five to one. They
said to the writer, Texas is the place for
investments because it is depressed on &C.
count of the drouth, and then they said
sgsin, that their dTouth up north and east
IN 1887 was greater than ours was In 1886.
One gentleman, evidently of means, said
be never bought or sold future option
in his life. But if California was corn or
wheat or cotton or stock, he would
borrow or hire block OF IL and sell it
short for future delivery, feeling conf
dent he could cover ct handsome mar
gin. The California harvest is ripening,
let Us get ready to reap. We don't want
to reap by hand; but we want the latest
improving steam reaplng machine Oh It's
class, and that is excursion ticket
machine, California to Texas, cent per
mile. The sooner we get the steam
machine and put it to work the better.
One insured gentleman said to the
writer yesterday, he had g good deal OF
Texas mud on his shoes and was TOLD we
were sorry 1t wss SO muddy. He said
that is ell right, that he expected to buy
some Texas dirt before he went home.

expressed with Ireland in her struggle
for emancipation. An effort was made
to have the convention pass resolution

successful. The Chicago printers diff
